The Boston Bruins took a tough Game 2 loss to the St. Louis Blues by the score of 3-2 in overtime.�

The Stanley Cup Final now heads to St. Louis with the series tied 1-1 and becomes a best of 5 series.�

Beside the empty netter he scored in Game 1, Marchand has been pretty quietly offensively during the series first two games with no points otherwise and a -2 rating along with six shots.�

Of those six shots, only two of the came during Game 2 and Marchand shoulders the blame for the team's loss.�

"We need to be better," Marchand said of his line, according to�The Athletic's Fluto Shinzawa. "Personally, I wasn't good the last two games. We can't be playing like that."�

Marchand and linemate Patrice Bergeron have combined for eight turnovers through the first two games, the Blues have been pushing them defensively.

"They just competed hard," Marchand said. "They won a lot of battles in our zone. They have really good sticks. So they turn a lot of pucks over and created some offense off that."
